Are engagement leader and project leader at McK and BCG actual promotions (meaning it was a strict up or out and decisions were made) or are they tenure promotions? When does up and out strike?

PL is 2 years after C and is an actual promotion

Are the rest counseled out? What’s the usual conversion from A to C and then C to PL?

Up or out is most pronounced around promotion cycles, which are all 2 years (A-C-PL-Pr-Pa-MDP). It’s also reasonably common to be counseled out at 18 months in role if the gap to promo is too big and not unheard of (though not common) to be counseled out at 12 months in role.

Hey!

I wanted to know if anyone had the same experience and what were your thoughts (pursue an MBA and leave your comfort zone and "good pay" or just stick with it). TIA!
